Help with tight circles

What's the key to circles? How tight is everybody doing them? 2nd gear big circles are fairly easy but I have a problem making em tight in 1st or 2nd.

Do you kick the inside leg a little bit or lean the body inside or what?

Re: Help with tight circles

put your *** crack on the opposite side of the way your turning

so if your doin circles to the left... put your *** crack on the right hand side of the seat. and use your legs to kick your self to turn sharper

and to do really really tight circles use first

Re: Help with tight circles

Well I actually have trouble doing them in 2nd gear, but I can bust out 5 or 6 circles in 1st gear. The trick is to keep the front end up high and I find that sliding my butt to the outside corner of the seat helps me balance. Like everything else though, it just takes practice.

Re: Help with tight circles

Just lean the bike and kind of get on the outside of it.. Just like you would on a real bike.. I can go in a 2-3ft radius for as long as you want me to
